36 km and 460m of climbing.

Weather:
cloudy with heavy rain
Report:
It was wet. It was hilly. I'm not sure there are any other words to say here. Other than that everyone rode very well in pretty appalling conditions.

Thanks to Nicole for sweeping tonight - not an easy job given the conditions.

And the ride up the A338 into the wind and into the rain to finsh off with was "character building". Loved every minute of it.

Distance:
39.30 km (24.42 mi)
